Aubrey Dollar and Shane McRae in One Small Hitch (2013)
On a flight home to Chicago for a family wedding, childhood friends Josh and Molly innocently agree to fake a wedding engagement to make Josh's dying father happy.  Things quickly get out of hand with their two boisterous families, and a series of events causes them to pretend to be a couple and start planning a phony wedding.  When the playacting begins to foster real feelings, the two must make some serious decisions - split up and return to their lives in Los Angeles, or make a life as a couple back in Chicago?

    Cute movie

    If you like Hallmark movies you'll like this. Stay tuned during credits because there is more footage.

    Sweet small hitch

    Maybe the hitch is not sweet, but the movie itself is. You could argue about the characters a bit I reckon. But I really do like the movie, even though it has clichés (which feed into the sweet notion of it of course) and is predictable as it gets. Still the actors can pull off the obvious and work with it.

    Since this is a romantic comedy and even the poster/cover art is pretty much revealing, we do know where this is heading, but the ride to get there has to be fun. And if you let yourself into it, than this ride can be a lot of fun. While not the best movie you've seen or will see, this is pretty decent indeed

    Very silly, thoroughly enjoyable.

    This is not a dreadfully original story, it is not worthy of an Oscar, it is rather stereotypical, and yet leaves you with a smile on your face wondering why they couldn't have made it half an hour longer.

    I wish I could tell you why, but I can't. I loved all the performances, and the script was funny, but kept itself on the believable side of silly.

    I doubt many critics are going to rave about it, and the movie snobs will hate it. It will not make many top lists and very few people will buy the DVD, so that they can watch it 15 times, but if you are looking to finish off an evening with a movie that sends you to bed smiling, this is an excellent pick.

    I like it

    This is the type of movie with a weird start that I stop watching after the first few minutes. However, I couldn't find anything I wanted to watch so I stuck with it. It was similar to a Hallmark movie. You know how it is going to end, its the journey it takes you through that is kind of enjoyable and funny.

    Entertaining and fun

    Really entertaining for the movie it is. The family members are fun and the two leads are enjoyable and have quite a bit of chemistry.

    Great afternoon movie you'll enjoy. The story has enough sweet moments and funny ones, as well, to keep you smiling.

    • Quotes

      Giselle: If you think that you've found someone that you can stand to be with, and she can stand to be with you even when you're both having really shitty days, and neither of you feel like shaving anything. And he looks at you like you're a Victoria Secret model in an old sweatshirt and jeans... Don't give that one up. Because if you think you're gonna find that with everyone you sleep with, you don't... I oughta know.
